Scary movies aren't as fun when people are talking all the time through them.
Normally, I don't like scary movies. Fear = adrenaline = nausea, which does not make for a happy Apricot. I would much prefer a psychological thriller that messes with my head than something that makes me afraid to look in the mirror.
It's ironic that my favorite show is Criminal Minds.
Whenever I watch a scary movie, I always have to watch something afterwards in order to get over any lingering fear. And then I change the music I listen to that night (I always listen to music when I go to sleep) to something that will distract me from my fear. If possible, I make sure not to be the last one to go to sleep.
Now, there are exceptions to every rule:
-The Others
-The Eye
-The Village
Note that none of those are really that scary.
Now for some of the movies that will never, under any circumstances, watch again:
-Insidious
-Darkness
Your turn. What scary movies (if any) do you like, which ones do you hate, and how do you get over your post-movie fear?
I don't like any scary movies. but you already knew that :P
ReplyDeleteI normally pray a lot then turn on the light and sit up in bed until I am so tired I can't keep my eyes open, then turn the light off and I am out.
I am not sure if some scarier things that are scary for me would be not scary for you. I do not have favorite "scary" movies, but maybe some with some frightening scenes in it. One is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The part with the basilisk is kind of scary, but at least the scene resolves and there are a lot of happier things afterward.
